Indian rupee ended marginally higher against the US dollar on Tuesday, on account of selling of US dollar by bankers and exporters. Some support came with Finance Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey’s statement that there is no concern over rupee value and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is managing the volatility of the local currency. He further noted that the Indian rupee is free-float and no control or fixed rate is applicable on the currency. However, gains were limited as investors remained cautious ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy meeting this week. Besides, exchange data showed Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 3,958.37 crore in the capital markets on a net basis on Monday. On the global front, dollar strengthened on Tuesday after U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods came into effect, triggering swift retaliation from Beijing and prompting a selloff in the Chinese yuan and the Australian dollar.
Finally, the rupee ended at 87.07 (Provisional), appreciated by 4 paise from its previous close of 87.11 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 87.13 and 86.98 respectively.
